Anonymous form communication

Fiona Murray

Hello, I'm in a workgroup that is debating having a name required vs. not to submit process improvement suggestions on a smartsheet form. Those that want to have a name required want it so that people who submit can be followed-up with for clarity and those that want to leave an anonymous option argue that it is important so that people feel free to be honest and forthcoming with feedback. We really just want the ability to communicate with people who submit forms, even if they do so anonymously.

Are there any features or app integrations that would allow us to communicate with people who submit forms anonymously?

Hi @Fiona Murray

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• It can't be completely anonymous, but it could be structured so maybe only one person could see it by using a so-called helper sheet.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
